According to Election results, 53.95% of Nigeria's Electorates voted for General Mohammadu Buhari to win the April 28th-29th elections, this victory signifies a political, Socio-economic as well as a cosmic tuning point in the history of Nigeria nation state, therefore we should have a cursory look at some of the salient points leading to this Victory for Democracy.
1. A PROMISE KEPT..
When President Goodluck Jonathan Took His oath of Office in 2011, among all the promises he made to Nigerians about all the things he intends to do in office, about all the changes and the improvement of the well being of the Nigeria Economy, only one got stock in my mind, and that was the PROMISE TO GIVE NIGERIANS A MORE CREDIBLE ELECTION IN 2015, this promise stayed in my curious mind and I am sure in the minds of most Nigerians glamouring for change, so I kept praying and waiting until the elections arrived. my greatest satisfaction with this promise is that President Goodluck did not stand aside to fulfill this promise, I thought it would have been a lot more easier to keep this promise if he did not contest in the elections, but NO, he proof to all All Nigerians that he is the Father of Modern day Democracy in Nigeria, a perfect gentleman and a believer in peace and most of all a Nigerian who above personal interest believes in the overall continues growth of Africa's biggest Democracy.
2. ACCEPTING DEFEAT.
politics like every other game of interest is not known for the players easily accepting defeat, mostly in the African and evidently in the Nigerian Context, the gesture displayed by President Jonathan in accepting defeat even before the final elections results where announce, has set him apart from all other politicians alive or death in the Nigerian Political scene, he has set a benchmark for future leaders to emulate or even surpass, he is indeed a PATHFINDER.
3. NOBEL PRIZE
I do know one has to show a lot of good work and fortitude to be considered for a Nobel peace prize, but I will think that with this great deed of serving the lives of millions of Nigerians, creating an enabling environment for investors to come into Nigeria and also keeping a regional peace by this single did, I am glad to lend my voice as a no body to nominate President Goodluck Jonathan for a Nobel Peace Prize for the year 2015, i know what he has done does not look like a great did to those in the Western World, but coming from a politician in Nigeria and Africa, this single act is worth more than a thousand.
Finally to my Amiable President, I am glad to say that thought I have not been one of your strongest advocates and supporter, it is worthy to mention that you finally won my admiration and support. Know that though you lost in the Elections, but it was a victory for Democracy, and Nigeria being Your first constituency. therefore be joyous in leading Nigeria during your last months in office and when you finally step-down in May 29th, you will do it as a Leader, a Victor and truly as a BOSS..
